MESI-DAVIS OVER 7 ROUNDS +125 1 unit


JOE MESI HAS HAD VERY WEAK COMPETITION TO RACK UP HIS 25-0 (23) RECORD. HIS ONLY IMPRESSIVE WIN WAS AGAINST DAVID IZON, WHOSE CAREER COMPETITION IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF ROBERT DAVIS 28-5 (16).

LET'S LOOK AT IZONS CAREER BEFORE HE LOST TO MESI. HIS ONLY DECENT WINS INCLUDE DEREK JEFFERSON, TERRENCE LEWIS, & LOU SAVARESE. ALL B-LISTERS IN MY OPINION. HIS LOSSES INCLUDE MAURICE HARRIS, DAVID TUA, & MICHAEL GRANT. IZON WAS KO'D BY A LIGHT PUNCHING FRES OQUENDO RIGHT BEFORE HE FOUGHT MESI, AND AFTER THE MESI FIGHT HE LOST TO ALFRED COLE (32-11). SO MESI'S WIN OVER IZON DOEN'T REALLY LOOK THAT IMPRESSIVE. ESPECIALLY SINCE MESI DIDN'T KNOCK HIM OUT TILL THE 9TH ROUND, TWO ROUNDS AFTER THE OVER/UNDER IN TONIGHTS FIGHT.

NOW LOOK AT ROBERT DAVIS' CAREER. HIS WINS INCLUDE CHARLES SHUFFORD, TERRENCE LEWIS (II), & SHERMAN WILLIAMS. HE HAS LOST TO LANCE WHITAKER, T. LEWIS (I), MICHAEL MOORER, MICHAEL GRANT, & MONTE BARRETT.

DAVIS WENT THE DISTANCE WITH MOORER, BARRETT, & LEWIS.
AND HE HAS ONLY BEEN KO'D BEFORE THE 7TH ROUND TWICE IN HIS CAREER. THOSE KO'S WERE TO GRANT & WHITAKER, WHO ARE BOTH OVER 6'5" AND 250 POUNDS. MESI IS 6'1 AND BARELY WEIGHS 200.

I'M NOT SAYING DAVIS WILL WIN THIS FIGHT, BUT HE HAS THE EXPERIENCE AGAINST STRONG COMPETITION THAT MESI LACKS. AND THAT EXPERIENCE "SHOULD" MAKE THIS FIGHT LAST MORE THAN 7 ROUNDS.


OPINIONS?

"the bunker"
i have to admit

i have to admit

to eyeballin` this prop myself......but,davis has been kayo`ed by terrence lewis(in the 9th,i believe),was down twice vs michael moorer and was down twice vs frankie swindell(uggghh).....but,the guy gets up...

i`m not a big mesi fan....he`s around 6`1" and isn`t a big heavyweight by a long shot....i believe davis is around 6`3".....

davis has been in with the better guys....he`s an "o.k." fighter....

i`ve only seen mesi twice.....and i wasn`t real impressed...smells like the old john ruiz route to a title fight.....beat enough borderline journeymen until you get a gaudy record,get into bed with one of the alphabet organizations or don king to get a #1 ranking,and maybe get lucky and fight a shot holifield or something similar....

why the hell not.....for chits and giggles....i`ll ride with mr bl at +125 for beer money........

not demeaning the pick...i see where you are going...if i were forced to bet a substantial amount on this fight,i`d probably bet over 7.....as i said,mesi is very protected...

why not....i`m with you bl.... i can`t stretch out because i`m not overconfident about davis` chin........but,you`ve got a decent shot...i see the logic...

g.l. to us...

henderson,nv.
I could be screwed because i took the under 7 for a good size play. I hope i am right hate to see anyone lose but i have a little chunk on this.

good luck either way

no sweatie,bl

no sweatie,bl

small wager....davis fought stiff as a board....would have liked to have seen the ref give him one more shot...he tends to get up after being knocked down....but,he didn`t attempt to hold or buy time...he was probably through....now maybe mesi steps up and fights a warm body......

another knock out on the card as i key...what`s in the water over there in buffalo?

bigger fish to fry....this weekend will be better...


btw....congrats to fletch.....nice call..

THAT WAS UGLY!

THAT WAS UGLY!

CONGRATS ON THE BIG SCORE FLETCHER.

SORRY G.W.

I WAS GETTING MORE CONFIDENT ON MY WAGER AS THE LINE WENT FROM +125 TO -130 BEFORE THE FIGHT STARTED. BUT I GUESS THE PUBLIC WAS WRONG AS USUAL.

BTW, ADD ROBERT DAVIS TO THE LIST OF FIGHTERS YOU NEVER WANT TO BET ON. HE PROBABLY BELONGS IN THE #2 SLOT, BEHIND MICHAEL GRANT.

G.W. & FLETCHER
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE COTTO UNDER THIS WEEKEND?

THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM IS TO HELP EACH OTHER WITH INFORMATION AND OPINIONS. YOU COULD HAVE KEPT ME FROM MAKING A BAD BET, OR HELPED SOMEONE MAKE A GOOD ONE.

AS FAR AS WE KNOW, YOU HAD NO CLUE WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE THE FIGHT.
